Ok fine ! New techonologies are great but I don't think this is one of them. Having new cell phone with two sim cards right in your cell phones ??? To have the normal sim card and wait until you see it with your own eyes the new advance high technology cell phone is having a sim card which actually serves as your "carte bancaire" bank card or payment by card (whatever purchase) thru the use of your cell phone. I have actually seen tonight from the news regarding this new discovery of cell phone . With this new technology, I myself is aware of the many risks of danger in having this new technology in our possession regardless of stuffs you have MP3 , cell phone , (GPS) Global Positioning System . Alright, I consider the practicality and convenience side of it and I agree! But you guys have witnessed and heard a lot of hold ups and victims of aggression because of these new things. Oh and having this new technology will expose us in real hazard (pera na pinag uusapan dito) even if we have private codes or something that protects the money or bank details (meron na tayong mga hustler ngayon at sisiw lang sa kanila yan). Technology that involves highly advanced or specialized systems or devices is giving an opportunity of tempatation in the eyes of everyone and that is inevitable.
People, we are really becoming slaves of technology. I hate to say that I was once a victim, I wanted to have a normal cell phone without this camera (hindi ko naman kailagan eh) after being bulglarized 2003 (kasi nga nanakaw yung cell phone ko na 3310 Nokia lumang model pa yon ha, tapos kasama yung 2 credit card namin, tapos yung susi ng bahay namin talagang walang awa). Went to a shop to buy they've told me that they don't have the old model so I was forced to buy new cell phone integrated with camera (di ko naman ginagamit). I don't know if we are still safe and I am afraid that we are not protected by all of these. We are leaving in a world with abrupt changes around us and inventors think that they are too intelligent having discovered all these high innovation, new discovery, whatever you call it ! Personally, intelligence doesn't mean only by discovering that is out of normal but thru profound reflection! All we can do is to stay vigilant and careful (iba na panahon ngayon) and that makes me sad and think that we are leaving in this world to consume and not to live the way we wanted to be (dati rati wala naman itong mga bagay na ito pero masaya at kuntento tayo). Ask yourself...........

Techonology developmentS are good, its for easy living. Instead of going to maps, thousands of it to see your destination gps is there.The same with other gadgets.
By a small chip, you can call anywhere and contact loveones. Imagine in times of napoleon bonaparte if there's celphone? war would be short term, hehe.
But personally, I dont have those, mp3 gps, ipod, etc etc.
The more I have it, the more complicates my life, i feel.
i have a pc, its complicated enough, haha.
And to have those, means budget. SPEND SPEND SPEND.
I hope that there are special security features in this new cell phone/debit card. It might be convenient in the end.
BTW, My cellphone's already 6 years old and still functions very well. I dont want to buy the latest with all those overkilling features because I just need one to make calls. I have my digital camera for taking pictures and my laptop for an internet. :-))
Leah - Eversince, I opted for prepaid since I am a SAHM. I rarely go out and when I am outside I uses hubby's phone (it's free but don't take advantage either ha :) ! Me too, if the stuffs I have at home are still useful I don't usually throw them I keep using them hanggang masira sila. I am a practical person, wise spender and economic ;).
I have nothing against high technology,i'm sure they more convenient than the old stuffs we have. It's just that everything is fast forward. We are too being dependent that causes laziness.
Joy - I completely agree with you! They're making business but actually it's not a necessity! I guess we are being fashion victim of all these. If only my cell phone wasn't stole I still have my 3310 with me! We also have computer & digital camera because we wanted to take & keep the photos eternally aside from that wala na :) and I am very contented!!!
I also know the dangers of carrying these expensive stuff. Just last week an IPOD was snatched from a teen-ager here in our area. I think that if parents want to buy these kind of things for their children, they should also warn them of the dangers. They shouldn't be showing it off.
Niceheart - I admire you ! In fact, I bought 3310 cellphone because before we didn't have telephone at home! When it was stolen, hubby bought me a new one! Now that we have the telephone line I just use it in case of emergency, or to ask baby sitter if kids are ok if i'm out!
Right danger is always present coz having these stuffs means temptation! I heard a lot of teen agers being aggressed because of these things, and I guess parents should advice their children not to bring those stuffs at school especially if they're out alone commuting! Better to just use it at home or when travelling inside the car ! Let's stay vigilant !

Correct ka jan. May kaibigan ako sa pinas namatay talaga dahil na hold-up cellphone tapos ayaw nyang ibigay. Ayun binaril sa ulo.
ANg Nolia naman, first introduce in the market, grabe super mahal, after a few months, mura na. I think satin lang sa pinas medyo maarte tayo..gusto natin mamahaling gamit talaga.
Sorry, about Maria's photoblog...i set to private Haze. I will invite you if I am ready na.
